As he moves to a new chapter in the States, Jimmy Alapag says he will return to the Philippines.
Jimmy Alapag and his family may have already flown to the States but their heart remains in the Philippines.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, the basketball player-turned-head coach said that it has been “an incredible journey” to represent the Philippines since his first game in 2002.
“Hard to put into words the love I have for the Philippines. It's been an incredible journey, and an experience that has been nothing but a blessing on my life,” he said.
“From the young, naive kid hungry just for an opportunity, to the man who fulfilled a life long dream and got a chance to see the world along the way. So many amazing memories.. so many incredible people whose impact on my life will last a lifetime.”
According to Jimmy, he will be using this new chapter in his life to grow and trust God's plans for him and his family.
He added, “Yet as the past months have shown, sometimes our lives can take unexpected turns toward a path of struggle, doubt, and uncertainty.
“But these times also give us a chance, a chance to learn more, grow more, and value what means most to us in our lives. Not sure what lies ahead, but we have absolute trust and faith in God's plans for our family. A new season, a new chapter.”
Jimmy also promised, “But no matter where this new path leads us, our heart will ALWAYS be here in the [Philippines]. Never goodbye, just see you all again soon…”
Jimmy Alapag and his wife LJ Moreno announced on Saturday, September 19, that their decision to migrate to the United States was the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic to their family.
In their YouTube vlog, they revealed, “It's been a strange six months, to say the least. With so many of us affected by this pandemic, I know it has forced us as a family to change course a little bit in terms of our plans as a family.
“Going through everything these past few months, LJ and I spoke about what will be the next step for our family, what's going to happen as far as the basketball game is in Manila.
“We decided to move back here in the States for the meantime.”
